Mark Webber let it slip that it will indeed be Scuderia Toro Rosso driver Daniel Ricciardo who will take his place as Sebastian Vettel's teammate at Red Bull Racing in 2014.

"The decision is made," Webber said in an interview with the Australian Channel Ten. "We all know who it is. I'm happy with that decision. It's good for him and good for Australia." Daniel Ricciardo is, of course, Australian like Webber.

Red Bull Racing might be upset the departing Webber has let the cat out of the bag early and are denying a final decision has been made but, in the end, what would the point of the Red Bull junior program if the only driver to ever get the call to the majors was Sebastian Vettel?
